138 THE BURTON CHARTULARY. 
On the authority of this writ the Sheriff of Staffordshire sent to Bromley to 
release the cattle, but his bailiff was informed that all the cattle there belonged 
to the Abbot. Upon this Colin and nine other tenants of Mickle-Over 
appeared before the King’s Court, complaining that in contempt of the King, 
and to their great damage, the Abbot had refused to liberate their cattle ; and 
on the 9th July they appeared at Celeburne before the Chancellor and many 
other laymen and clerks who were there with the King, and averred the same 
and many worse things of the Abbot; in all which they were assisted by a 
certain Clerk Wyther. The Abbot therefore sent Brother Nicholas de Kinel- 
worth, who after treating of the matter with Sir Ralph de Hengham, the 
Justiciary, appeared before the Chancellor, and arranged that the Abbot should 
abide by the verdict given in Banco until it was superseded by another. Upon 
this the Abbot ejected the aforesaid nine men and the brother of Colin from 
their lands and houses, but permitted the wives and children to remain ; but 
afterwards, in order that they might sue out a writ of novel disseisin, the 
wives were likewise ejected, viz., on the 13th July. After this the men of 
Magna Uvera, having followed the King for several days, brought back with 
them a writ addressed to the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, commanding him to 
cause the cattle of the following tenants to be replevied, viz. :—
